Creative Highlighting With Lift and Deposit in One Step

Professional highlighting often calls for more than simply making hair lighter. Achieving the desired look involves choosing the right level of lift, developing a complementary color direction, and creating dimension that works with the client's existing hair color.

Scruples Illusionist Brilliant Creme Highlights combines lifting and color deposition in one highlighting system. This gives colorists the flexibility to formulate for different starting levels and desired highlighting effects without treating lift and color as entirely separate creative goals.

The system offers controlled lift ranging from 1 level to 7 levels and beyond, providing options for everything from restrained highlights to more pronounced color changes. Actual results depend on the hair's starting condition and the professional formulation used.

9AV Bombshell for Professional Color Design

Shade selection is a central part of creating a cohesive highlighting service. 9AV Bombshell gives colorists a specific shade option within the Scruples Illusionist Brilliant Creme Highlights collection, allowing it to be considered alongside the client's starting color, existing highlights, and desired finished appearance.

Rather than approaching every highlighting appointment with the same formula, professionals can use the system's range of lift and color options to develop individualized services. This flexibility is especially useful when clients have different color histories or want to adjust the overall appearance of their highlights.

Professional Applications

Scruples Illusionist Brilliant Creme Highlights is designed for salon color services where controlled lifting and color deposition are needed.

• Dimensional highlighting: Create selected areas of lighter, deposited color to add visual interest and contrast.
• Natural hair highlighting: Formulate highlight services for clients working from their natural starting color.
• Color-treated hair highlighting: Explore appropriate formulation options for previously colored hair, taking its color history and condition into account.
• Base-breaking services: Soften the visual separation between natural hair and highlighted sections for a more blended appearance.
• Customized color appointments: Select lifting and depositing approaches that complement the overall salon color plan.

Practical Considerations for Professional Colorists

The ability to work with both natural and color-treated hair makes Illusionist a useful system to consider when planning varied highlighting appointments. Colorists can evaluate the client's starting level, existing artificial color, and desired result before determining an appropriate formulation.

For base-breaking appointments, the system provides another option for reducing the appearance of contrast between natural hair and highlights. This can be particularly relevant when the service goal is a softer transition rather than a completely new highlighting pattern.

As with any professional chemical color service, follow the current Scruples manufacturer directions for formulation, developer selection, application, processing, and recommended testing. The supplied product information does not establish specific mixing ratios or processing times.
